CONCEPT OF GOD
ISLAMIn Islamic theology, God (Arabic: الله‎ Allah ) is the all-powerful and all-knowing creator, sustainer, designer, and judge of the universe. Islam emphasizes that God is strictly singular (tawḥīd ) unique (wāḥid ) and inherently One (aḥad ), all-merciful and omnipotent. Allah is the term with no plural or gender.

Names and Attributes of God In Islam, there are 99 Names of God (al-asmāʼ al-ḥusná lit. meaning: "The best names") each of which evoke a distinct attribute of God. All these names refer to Allah, the supreme and all-comprehensive divine name.[9] Among the 99 names of God, the most famous and most frequent of these names are "the Compassionate" (al-raḥmān) and "the Merciful" (al-raḥīm). Oneness Allah

The One true God is a reflection of the unique concept that Islam associates with God. To a Muslim, Allah is the Almighty Creator and Sustainer of the universe, who is similar to nothing and nothing, is comparable to Him. The Prophet Muhammad was asked by his contemporaries about Allah; the answer came directly from God Himself in the form of a short chapter of the Qur'an, which is considered to be the essence of the unity or the motto of monotheism. This is chapter 112, which reads: “In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate. Say (O Muhammad), He is God, the One God, the Everlasting Refuge, who has not begotten, nor has been begotten, and equal to Him is not anyone”. “God has not taken to Himself any son, nor is there any god with Him: for then each god would have taken of that which he created and some of them would have risen up over others” (23:91). Merciful

Some non-Muslims claim that God in Islam is a demanding and cruel. God who demands to be obeyed fully and does not love and kind. It is enough to know that, with the exception of one, each of the 114 chapters of the Qur'an begins with the verse “In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate". In one of the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), we are told that “God is more loving and kind than a mother to her dear child”. The believer’s

In order to be a true believer, one must believe in the absolute oneness of God, as the only Creator, Preserver and Nourisher of everything. However, this belief in the true characteristics of God is not the sole condition of true faith; one must also acknowledge that God is the only one who deserves to be worshipped. His commands and guidelines for how to live one’s life should always take precedence over the commands of anything He created. Indeed, He guides humanity to what is best for them in this life and the hereafter and He is All-Knowing and All-Wise. When true faith enters a person’s heart, it positively impacts their outlook and behavior. The Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) said, “Faith is that which resides firmly in the heart and which is proved by actions.” “It is God who has given you the night in which to rest and the day in which to see. God is truly bountiful to people, but most people do not give thanks. Such is God your Lord, the Creator of all things: there is no god but Him. How can you be so deluded? [40:61-62] Monotheism

All the major religions that believe in the existence of God ultimately, on a higher level, believe in one God. All religious scriptures actually speak about monotheism i.e. Believe in only one true God The primary pillar of Islamic belief clearly states that there is nothing worthy of worship except God. Associating partners with God or attributing qualities of lesser beings to Him is considered to be the greatest sin in Islam. The Quran points out the faulty thinking of those who worship other than God: “‘How can you worship things you carve with your own hands, when it is God who has created you and all your handiwork?’” [37:95-96] Hinduism
